RICHMOND, TX (KTRK) -- One man is now in police custody after a bizarre incident this morning at William Velasquez Elementary in Richmond.

Fort Bend County authorities tell us two men -- and not teens as previously reported -- were apprehended around 8am in the 400 block of Macek Road today after one man was shooting on the school's roof while the other man played bagpipes.

Authorities determined one of the men -- the bagpipes player -- was not involved in the incident and was later released, saying he was "in the wrong place at the wrong time."

The other man, Christian Peiper, 20, of Richmond, was arrested. Several charges are pending, according to Rosenberg police.

Police say Peiper was in possession of a three-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun used in the incident which was later reported stolen to the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department.

Though the incident happened on a school campus, police say they do not believe at this point Peiper's intended to target the school or students.

There were no injuries.

The school alarm was not tripped during the incident. Authorities say they have recorded surveillance footage of Peiper at the school, but the video is not monitored.

“.. the bagpipes player — was not involved in the incident and was later released, saying he was “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Never play the bagpiopes on a school roof when there is an a shooter around.

Peiper was the shooter. He was not the piper. The piper was not the shooter. Got it?
But, who's on first?!??

Makes sense, but is it the flagon with the dragon, or is it the chalice from the palace?

Neither...it’s the vessel with the pestle...

Peiper was on the roof, but I don’t think the piper was on the roof.

I suspect the writer was just an idiot tho.”

Well, at the very least, sentence construction was obviously not his strong suit. Had to read this sentence twice to figure out what he thought he was trying to say.

“Police say Peiper was in possession of a three-caliber Smith and Wesson handgun used in the incident which was later reported stolen to the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Department.”

First thought that maybe the gun had been stolen from the FBC Sheriff’s office.

I’d say Christine Dobbyn needs some remedial writing classes.

Maybe there were doing a tribute to the late Roddy Piper?

S&W Governor could be called a 3 caliber revolver, I guess.

But this is mostly some sort of editing silliness.

Maybe a Model 3 Smith & Wesson?

... or more likely just bad reporting

Unfortunately they broke the chalice from the palace, and replaced it with a flagon with a dragon. Remember, the poison is in the flagon with a dragon and the vessel with the pestle is the brew that is true!

What I want to know is who broke the Vessel With a Pestle?
